This fifth edition has been fully updated throughout, covering emerging technologies such as machine learning and blockchain technology, as well as expanded coverage of secondary data, using examples from around the world.

A realistic continuing case used throughout the book, applied research examples and ethical dilemma mini cases, enable upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students to see how business research information is used in the real world.
